Making good Mondays is like making coffee -


The week is before us - like the coffee pot - waiting to brew. Making it good is a matter of choice, luck, creativity, patience and acceptance of the outcome.

Following are some of my favorite tweets from the social website, Twitter. Enjoy!

"RT @JayAckroyd I continue to note despite what Baucus or Conrad says, there R 60 cloture votes, +more than 51 #hcr votes 4 a public option," included for her outstanding tweeting skill: kudos to Libby Spencer (8/17/09).

"Looking ahead, here are the most exciting cars coming in 2010" is from Time Magazine (8/17/09).

"The Funniest Signs From The Town Hall Protests (PICS)," is from The Huffington Post (8/17/09).

"About to engage in seat change negotiations with other passengers so each kid doesn't have to sit alone. Kids are unwashed which might help," is from a favorite journalist, John Dickerson (8/17/09).

"Hot, humid day here in Toronto. First tweet from iPod on wifi. Ain't technology great?," is from my editor at The Reaction, Michael J.W. Stickings, a very new tweeter (8/15/09).

"markknoller@GeeCarol agreed. we need to support newspapers" is from a rather recognizable White House correspondent (Mark Knoller), an answer that signifies the interactive fun of Twittering.

"This was taken from ISS as we were coming in to dock," is from Astro_127, Commander Mark Polansky (8/11/09).

"RT @joshtpm: Teabaggers say they wnt their country back. But Afro-Arab socialists have only had it 4 6 months. cnt they wait their turn?" is from Matt Cooper (8/8/09).

"Interesting," is from Senator Claire McKaskill (8/2/09). She liked a very edgy piece "What's Not to Like" in Newsweek by Jonathan Alter. His subtitle" "Reform? Why do we need health-care reform? Everything is just fine the way it is."

Blogs: My news and political blog is at South by Southwest. My general purpose/southwest focus blog is at Southwest Progressive. And Carol Gee - Online Universe is the all-in-one home page for my websites.
